This is my favorite song!! Yeah, "Loneliness Kills"! I experience it quite often. Believing in God helps me tremendously with getting through it all!!!!
My name is TONY GUNN. For the record, I was the album vocalist. Kind of wish Pat would have cleared that up. This is the third Singer. People should know the difference and who did the work. If my old bandmates would talk to me I wouldn't be compelled to comment.
I would just like to say thanks. Many years ago I listed to a First Strike demo in a Zondervan, however no tapes were on the shelf. It was the best thing I had heard to that point in Christian music. I think it took nearly a year till I found a tape for purchase. I really connected with the songs, and to this day the music quality is great. I wish there had been many more albums.
good stuff! I played the flavor out of my FS cassette back in the day! If i'm not mistaken, "Rock of Offense" is available on the 77's website- i need to grab one and re-enjoy on of my favorite Christian Rock bands of my youth.
"One of Sacramento's hottest new talents, FIRST STRIKE live this Saturday night at 8PM... 1944 business park drive off of highway 50 & Bradshaw, admission is free" I still have the commercial memorized (it's on a cassette somewhere). Seriously, you guys were the first band I ever saw on stage. Ever. I grew up in Rancho Cordova. I am now not only a Christian, but a musician, and work in the music industry! People always ask about my first concert & I tell them "First Strike"! Very cool...
Yep! This is FS! I was the guitar player on the right. I threw these up for the band mostly, but there are a lot of people who enjoyed it because they never got to see what we looked like. Hope you had fun going back in time! pb

This was absolutely one of my favorite's! I had to make copies of my cassette because I wore it out so much LOL
Was bored and decided to google it ... great find! Brings back some memories.

Did you post the wrong song, or just the wrong title in the comments? This isn't "Slow Poison" it is "Loneliness Kills"
